| Question regarding 2 Mames 1 XML list in HS. |
| (1/1) |
| Yourname942:
Is it possible to have 2 versions of Mame use the same XML file? (to have 2 emulators for the same hyperspin list) Only bc some games don't work with 1.48 (like Metal Slug1-4, 6 and XX, etc) Thanks. |

Yep, you just have to define another mame exe in hyperspin for the older MAME version. Then for the games you want to use the older version, add an <exe> element in the mame XML list. For example, in /HS/settings, make a copy of MAME.ini and call it MAME-oldVersion.ini. Open it up and change the path to the older MAME exe. Then under /HS/Database, edit your MAME.xml file, locate the game to want to run the older MAME and add the following under that game: <exe>MAME-oldVersion</exe> |

I'm using a similar workaround with Mala. In the future, I hope front-end authors make it a main feature to have one list that can launch games using various emulators. Arcade games belong in the "Arcade Games" list regardless of what emulator they are running on. I don't have separate lists for Capcom Z80 or Namco System 22 hardware, so why would I want Laserdisc, Sega Model 2, Naomi, or Taito Type X separated? |

100% agree. |
